I have 2 noob question about flash

[Pliskin99]

I have a series I made on flash. I've made 7 episodes so far and I still have all the sound files on my computer for all of the 7 episodes. I never deleted any of the sound files in my documents because I thought it would cause harm to the flashes I made. Can I delete them? Sorry if it's a noob-ass question. I guess Im just a n00b.

Also, how do I put my flashes on youtube?

If you have your file saved with the sounds, then of course if you delete the sounds (from your desktop) nothing will happen.

To put on youtube you must convert your flash to .flv extension.

Thanks. Also, how do you change the order of scenes in a flash?

Somehow in my flash, scene 13 now plays before scene 14. So how do i put scene 13 in front of 14? Thanks.

Never use scenes.

I never used them but as far as I can remember there some property panel in Flash that you can see a list displaying the order of your scenes, so you can change it there.

Thanks and found it. And sorry, I mean scene 14 plays before 13.

Haha and why shouldn't I use scenes? Just wondering because I think It makes animating 10 minutes of animation alot easier.

As I said before I don't have that knowledge with scenes but *maybe* to do animations is not a problem but to games is.

Generally scenes screw up with sounds, actions and give you stressful problems. So just avoid them.

oh Ok, thanks dude

Well I haven't had much experience with the new Flash releases, but I used scenes all the time back with Flash 8 and never encountered any problems. All it does is help organize.

I've tried to use scenes, and I always would run into problems with sounds and coding. In my opinion using scenes is like a person stuffing their items under a bed. It's off your screen, but eventually you will have to go back to the scene for some reason.
You can organize better without the scenes.

That's a little too noob mate

scenes aren't a problem for me... I always use one scene for my preloader, one for my title (play buttons, title, etc.), one for my toon, and one for my credits. I've never had any problems. I don't make games so I don't know how it works with them tho.

Another way to fix your problem is with AS. name the first frame in each scene then on the LAST frame of each scene (should be keyframe) make an action that says [ gotoAndPlay("blahblah"); ] where "blahblah" is whatever name you chose for the next scene. (Example: scene 2 frame 1 is called "monkey" so at the end of scene 1 make a keyframe and type the action gotoAndPlay("monkey");
